SUE NAIDEN

After earning a degree in Exercise Science from Southern Illinois University, Sue hit the ground running and started working at one of the premier gyms in Chicago. For the past 20 years, she has thrived being a personal trainer and 15 of those years have been spent at Energy Training Center. During these years, her hands on experience taught her more about how to be most effective to her clients than any textbook ever could.

When it comes to training, she believes that fun and motivation are the keys to success in any program.

Having a good sense of humor and an optimistic outlook on life can go a long way when a client comes in with a lot on their mind. When beginning a program, she has clients set clear goals for what they want to achieve and then we develop a realistic program that is adequately challenging for them and does not set them up to fail.

Seeing results and progress is motivation, as to being able to monitor personal goals periodically. Using a variety of equipment and exercises, she will tailor the workout to fit your strengths and target your weaknesses. With regular communication and commitment to a healthier lifestyle, she can help building a leaner, stronger and happier you!

Her clients’ ages have ranged from 10 to 90 years old and she has excelled not only in pre/post-natal but functional and strength training, too.

Of course, when it is class reunion or wedding season, she will bring out my secret weapons and make you look like a rockstar in photos!
